It sounds like a flower, It's fresh to the ears. Echolalia is a word that I hear. A little girl found it, I heard it today. She might have autism, But that's rude to say. Should I just speak up or ignore the signs? Noting signs in a child that is not mine Is like picking a flower, It withers and dies.
I meet children who may potentially have autism, but it's such a sensitive topic that I refrain from making comments to the parents. I feel a sense of responsibility towards the well being of the child, but should I? (Note: I mean the actual word echolalia sounds "fresh to the ears".)
